Boot Timer is a small freeware utility which can help you to find out the total time taken for booting Windows OS. This utility is specially useful when you want to compare the boot time after applying some tweak. Download the utility and run the executable file. This utility will ask permission to reboot.
After reboot, you will first get a message asking you to not use the mouse or keyboard for some time. After that it gives you the boot time for Windows.
This utility does not take into effect the time taken to go through BIOS or BIOS bootup password. It takes the time from the instant BIOS starts loading Windows.
One thing which is not clear is that whether it takes in consideration the login time of Windows. When I ran this utility, I had the CTRL +ALT +DEL logon.
Boot Timer is supported in Windows XP and Vista.
